Ted. Montana, and more specifically Missoula appeals to us for several reasons. First, there is lots of space. Montana is bigger than Georgia, Florida and South Carolina combined. Also, there are not many people. The population is about the same as Fulton County, Georgia or the state of Rhode Island. The climate in the summer is hard to beat; sunny, warm days, cool nights and low humidity.
We love places where one can wake up and walk 10 minutes to pick up a fresh baguette and croissants.

Following a leisurely breakfast, we only need to drive about 15 minutes to a National Forest for a brisk hike that still gets us home in time for lunch on our terrace.

After a nap, it’s just a 10 minute stroll to an old school ice cream stand.

Yes, we have the limitations of masks and social distancing. Plus our church here is closed and the Roots Music Festival has been canceled. However, most of what we discovered last year is still here to enjoy. It’s hard for me to argue with the locals who claim that Montana is “The Last Best Place!”
